Clients Testimonials

I contracted Mike Gilling to perform invasive testing and reporting on my rental property, when it was shown to have issues with weathertightness and moisture ingress.

Mike’s service was prompt, professional and accurate.

Once the issues were identified Mike then supervised the remedial work required to correct them. He liaised with the builders, architect and council.

Finding out that my property was a leaky home was a very stressful and frustrating experience. However once Mike became involved, his skill and expertise made the process of remediation smooth and stress free, and he ensured that the work was carried out in a timely fashion.

I found Mikes work to be excellent and I would have no hesitation in recommending Mike to anyone who requires a weathertightness surveyor.

We used Mike Gilling of Corrective Building Surveyors to complete a pre-purchase property inspection of two rental properties. In addition to being timely and professional, the quality of the work that he carried out and the report he produced was outstanding. The report was laid out clearly with supporting photos where necessary and afforded us the ability to go into the purchase with full knowledge of potential issues and provided the capacity for us to renegotiate the purchase price, ultimately saving us money. I unreservedly recommend Mike and would not hesitate to use him again in the future.

In June 2015 I engaged Mike Gilling of Corrective Building Surveyors to undertake invasive moisture testing on my property situated in Hamilton.

As part of his service, and upon completion of the testing, Mike provided me with a comprehensive and detailed written report commenting on the moisture issues related to the property. The report included:

An outline of the nature, scope and extent of the testing undertaken;

Comment on key isolated areas of concern;

Effective photographs and colour coded guidance for ease of reference; and

Suggested remedial action.

Mike Gilling’s service in connection with the provision of the invasive moisture testing has been professional, prompt, comprehendible and most importantly, ‘to the point’.

Mike has continually made himself readily available to discuss any queries I have had and provide further assistance in connection with my proposed remedial works, possible contractors and the general process in connection with such proposed remedial works.

I would have no concerns with recommending Mike Gilling to undertake invasive moisture testing and comment on the same to other people or entities requiring such services.
